How to Inspire a Generation of Mathematicians, Problem solvers, and Change-makers
by Teaching Lab
Let’s embark on a journey together to explore the art of internalizing and preparing lessons in mathematics. After all, education should be a liberating force that empowers students to think critically and engage with the world around them. Therefore, it is vital for us as teachers to approach our lessons with clarity, intentionality, and a deep understanding of our students' needs and potential.
Math: Lesson Internalization & Preparation Guide
In our guide “Math: Lesson Internalization & Preparation” – which can be downloaded below – we will navigate four essential steps to enhance the effectiveness of our mathematics lessons. These steps will enable us to create an inclusive and engaging learning environment where every student can thrive and develop a strong mathematical foundation:
Step 1 encourages us to gain clarity on the goals of the lesson by delving into various components. By immersing ourselves in the lesson narrative, learning goals, learning targets, and the standards being addressed, we cultivate a comprehensive understanding of what we aim to achieve.
Step 2 emphasizes the significance of assessing students' understanding through a Cool Down or Exit Ticket. By solving problems or responding to questions aligned with the lesson's objectives, we gauge the depth of students' comprehension.
Step 3 invites us to think through the lesson tasks and activities, paying careful attention to inclusivity and student engagement. We examine the strategies and language used to ensure accessibility for all learners, recognizing that each student possesses unique strengths and challenges.
In Step 4, we focus on planning a purposeful lesson closing. We articulate the synthesis of the lesson in our own words, ensuring a clear and coherent understanding of the mathematical concepts covered. To make the abstract nature of math more tangible, we brainstorm words, concrete models, and visual representations that will aid in student comprehension.
By following these four steps, we embark on a transformative journey towards creating an inclusive, engaging, and empowering mathematics classroom, where we internalize and prepare our lessons, nurture a love for mathematics, and cultivate critical thinkers who will shape the future with confidence and compassion. Together, we can inspire a generation of mathematicians, problem solvers, and change-makers.
